Ha ha.
Will this ship April 1st, 2023?
All Behringer release dates are an April fool's joke.
Forgive my cynicism, it's born of infinitely repeated disappointments
Someday Behringer will release all promised products.
I doubt I will live that long

 

Yeah, still waiting for that BCR32 hoax.

A Prophet 5 clone was announced too, right?
Edit: Pro-16 they called it.
Quote:
Behringer has reported that the Pro-16, a recreation of the Sequential Prophet-5, is ready for production – as soon as the brand gets the chips it needs, that is.

My guess is that the top secret development of a time machine is taking longer than expected so they can't yet go back to the 70s and purchase loads of original synth chips.

Well, China is somewhat reducing forced Covid lockdown now so let's see what Behringer make of it.

I wanted the BCR32 because my Behringer Odyssey sequencer won't do midi sync or any other sync

 

Makes no difference as far as Behringer, April is a fairly realistic date (I work for one of the big display manufacturers and see it every day). There are plenty of manufacturers with more money, and more important products, ahead of them in line first. Audio manufacturers are small change. Once production ramps up, the big money gets their toys before the little guys do. They're not going to put Uli and his 1000 Prophet 600 knock offs ahead of people like GM, Ford, etc, who have millions waiting to spend..

 

I don't mind waiting an extra year or two as long as I get one at that price though.

 

"With such an incredible response to our recent announcement of PRO-800, it was clear you wanted to hear more of its incredible sound before it begins shipping (Estimated in April 2023).
With it's 8 fully analog voices with 2 VCO’s per voice, the PRO-800 truly opens up the world of affordable polyphonic synths to everyone.

All sounds recorded are from the PRO-800 recorded directly into a DAW. The MONOPOLY is purely acting as a controller only.
Basic delays and a small amount of reverb has been added.
Estimated Price USD $599." - Behringer via Facebook

"PRO800 is on the way. We’re very excited to share that the highly anticipated PRO800 is now finally in production. The global chip shortage has challenged many companies, but we’re happy to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you all for your immense support and patience. While it’ll take a while to get the synthesizer in your hands as we’re shipping from the factory, we hope that this beautiful instrument will make up for the long wait." - Behringer, via Facebook

It's coming, with a new price that's hard to resist: "Classic Analog 8-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer with 2 VCOs, Classic VCF, Arpeggiator, Sequencer and 200 Program Memories in Eurorack Format List price: $399 (in stock and immediately shipping from our factory)" - Behringer, via Facebook

Fuckin a. $399 on top of it?? When I saw this announced, I didn't think they would even get close to the release date. Bought a Rev 2 instead. Looks like the Prophet 08 still might get a little brother anyways for that price..

 

"Wow, it's amazing! We have already received more than 50,000 orders from our super partners since the official launch of the PRO-800. This is a record-breaking number and we’re extremely proud to offer the world's first 8-voice dual-VCO analog synthesizer with patch storage for less than $400. Even though we could have easily charged double the price, it reflects our commitment to make music equipment affordable for every musician on this planet.

Additionally, our industry-leading 3-year extended warranty ensures that you're protected for even longer.
We want to express our gratitude to all of you for making this possible. Your loyalty and support inspire us to continue doing what we love. We promise that there is much more to come as we’re just warming up."

Look an actual promise, not like the ones so many people made up in their heads.

People are starting to receive their machines today

Just some random users vids, I"m sure a proper review vid will be coming soon.

 

​

 

An eight voice analog synthesizer? Under 400 bucks? But is that horrendous numeric display that will drive you to distraction worth it?

The Shadow knows!

I guess they wanted to give it an authentic look, idk. At least you get an extra couple digits!

The second vid is an overview BTW. ​

I'm old enough to be familiar with the original Pro-600. At the time I thought it looked cool but now it looks like someone has Photoshopped two different era synths together. The Behringer price is astonishing for the spec though. It will be hard to resist, even if I don't like the look of it.

 

It looks alright to me but looks are my last concern.
Sounds good, and yeah that price.
